Actor John Schneider reacts to Alec Baldwin's fatal prop-gun shooting and explains the procedure of handling weapons on movie sets. - via 'Wake Up America' on Newsmax. - Zábava
I believe John Schneider is a patriot and a trustworthy individual. I've always been a fan.
He is a producer. Along with his emotional trama and grieve, he will probably be sued.
I grew up watching Dukes of Hazzard. And I've also been watching his channel I agree with you. It seems like a good old boy
I agree w/ u Tod. 👍
Agreed, One of leading social commentators too👏🤩
Subscribe to him if you haven't yet!!!👊😎
As a firearms Instructor, John. Did a excellent job in detailing what should happen. And yes there is no such thing as a accidental discharge, He is right on point when he said it was a negligent discharge.
Agree, but couldn't help noticing he talked about pointing the gun up. When I was trained at Talon range here in Florida, we were never told to hold the gun with the barrel pointing up. Always down. Up isn't safe. They look so silly on tv when they do that.
He's lying. They don't dry fire a gun. It's pointless as revolvers have more than one chamber and semi's hold more than one bullet in the magazine .
@@jeffchristianson-ziebell7727 I completely disagree. Baldwin is responsible he is a producer that means he is responsible for what happens on set. Accident or not its still negligence for the simple fact it wasn't a prop gun which means someone is willfully lying about certain facts. Prop guns cannot fire a bullet. That was a loaded firearm period. My only question is why was it aimed at the cameraman, and was there intent to harm said cameraman. Because frankly the 911 call seemed to be done in a very calm voice.
@@rdavis7114 Back in the '80's pointing a firearm up for safety was quite common. As time marches on it has been shown that is not the case and nobody teaches that anymore.
@@redrocker1055 Odd, coming from a military background myself a weapon is not proven safe until you dry fire it. So he isn't lying. You dry fire a revolver 6 times as he said. Pistols are easier dry fire once and keep the magazine out . On the range we had to lock the slide to the rear and hold the magazines next to the chamber so the RO could inspect the chamber and magazines. They will then tell you to make safe which is when you release the slide point down range and dry fire the weapon.
They picked the right person to ask. John was right on everything. Had everyone followed the basic safety rules of gun handling, this wouldn't have happened.
Because he's had so much acting experience
@@roxannemoserNo, because he has had much more experience in handling weapons!! 8:27
Great to have a discussion from someone who is an well-known actor AND knows guns and shooting pretty well. I can tell by the way he talks that he's very familiar with practical gun safety, and understands its value and necessity.
I've worked my whole life with guns. Over 30 years of experience. First four things I learned.
1. treat every weapon as it were loaded.
2. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger till your ready to fire.
3. Never point a weapon at any thing you do not intend to destroy.
4. Be aware of what is beyond your target.
That early education also thought me that there are no accidental discharges, only negligent. So I agree with Mr. Schneider it was negligence, especially on Alec Baldwin's part.
5. When you pick up a firearm, you are responsible for the condition and safety of that firearm. Doesn't matter what the last person did, or didn't do. You pick it up, you assume the responsibility
@@CookingBlues2u exactly.
What about turning it sideways for better aim?
Even when home alone working on my own guns, I check the chamber even if I did already unload it before. It's just a habit you must develop just like keeping your finger off of the trigger. Eventually you never put your finger in the trigger guard when you pick up the firearm but you still also are conscience of the reason.
@@PsalmFourteenOne another lesson that was thought, as well.
John Schneider explains everything in great detail, then the reporter asks what can we do going forward? To John's credit, he didn't ask said reporter if he had been paying any attention whatsoever. Just love John Schneider!
Yeah, I could have just kept listening to John. He knows what he is talking about. Not just cause he is avid gun owner, but also he's had his movie career with lots and lots of guns.
John Schneider: "This was NOT a prop gun."
Banner: "Alec Baldwin fires prop gun..."
He set it straight, didn't he??
The banner also: contradicts obvious reality.
Prop guns don’t fire live rounds!
Excellent interview with John Schneider. He’s right about everything, especially about it being negligence.
He's right on point. Gun safety education is SO important.
Gun safety is important if you own and use guns. If you don’t subscribe to the idea that guns are necessary, then no, you do not have to be concerned with guns and what they do. T
@@sarahgupton2552 probably not a good idea
It's always good to broaden your knowledge in real world scenarios. Gun handling, CPR, etc etc
Life skills are essential to learn even if not used on a daily basis
No gun. No dead person!
@@sarahgupton2552 Gun safety is important when anyone around you has a gun. Even prop guns can be dangerous, if someone else mistakes them for a real and potentially loaded gun.
Criminals owns guns. That't the biggest reason to buy a gun. Don't be an easy target.
Alec was negligent in pointing it at anyone. Why aim and fire at non actors. Wasn't even part of the film. Alec was around when the prop / blank accidents in the mid/late 1980's happened. He knew about the tight regulations. He's a reckless man, guilty of manslaughter at least.
Well said!!
Maxwell's trial starts in November.
I believe it's called Negligent homicide.
But in this case . Those people aren't actors so what was he even doing pointing it at them ???
The guy is a know hot head .
@Pixie Moonpie yes the lady killed by Alec....her husband is a lawyer wt the firm that involved in Clinton campaign on Russia hoax....so there's that interesting connection
it might have been a POV camera shot
John Schneider nailed it. This CAN NOT have happened without gross negligence.
First, because movie sets should no longer be using real firearms at all; for, as illustrated by John's "finger shooting," digital effects are more-than-sufficient to produce any desired gunshot visuals WITHOUT any actual powder-burning cartridges, or even any blanks. "Digital Post" is crazy-cheap these days...not, maybe, for dinosaurs and space battles, but very much so for something as trivial as gunshots.
Secondly, because even before the era of digital effects, proper firearms safety protocols on set would prevent a live round from being chambered in a firearm through the sheer overkill of checking, rechecking, and dry-firing. (Like John said.) It is absurd that the weapon ever made it to Baldwin's hand without a minimum of three checks and two dry-fires.
Thirdly, because any adult human -- hell, any upper-order juvenile primate -- is supposed to know at an INDIVIDUAL level the four basic rules of firearm safety, and to practice them EVERY time:
1. Every gun is always treated as if it were loaded. Yes, ALWAYS. Doesn't matter if someone told you it was empty, or "cold," or whatever. If you're about to do something where the gun's being-loaded would be bad, you CHECK it. In fact, you check it TWICE, because in some guns, racking the slide the FIRST time might show you an empty chamber, and then accidentally chamber a round stripped off the magazine as the slide closes. So, you rack it once, while checking. Then you rack it AGAIN, while checking. You can also just remove the slide and rack it a few times rapidly. The point is: Until you check it, twice or more, it's loaded. If you just checked it and found it empty, that's fine until you glance away; but if you glanced away a half-second and then glanced back, guess what? It's now considered loaded again, unless you check it again.
2. Never point a gun, even a supposedly "empty" one, at anything you're not intending to permanently destroy, right now.
3. You may not point your gun at your target until you have positively identified your target, and are certain there's nothing between you and your target, and that there's nothing behind your target...or, in the presence of hard ricochet-friendly surfaces, nothing even anywhere near your target.
4. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are on target. Yes, that's right: Outside the trigger guard. No, you don't twirl it around cowboy-style, who do you think you are, Annie Oakley? Keep your finger off the frickin' trigger! Until you're on target!
There are other rules, too, but those are the basics that you'd get kicked out of Cub Scouts for not knowing.
Fourthly, what in the hell was this gun doing being pointed at the camera crew, let alone discharged in their direction? Was there a shot in which the audience was supposed to be looking down the barrel? Then it should have been a prop-gun (nonfunctional, no pin, stopped-up chamber). NO REAL GUN, even empty, is ever pointed at the videographer. It's not done!
So what do we know about this event?
We know Alec Baldwin didn't practice the basic firearm safety that every grammar-schooler, grandma, and golden retriever ought to be able to perform in their sleep.
We know that the set lacked the basic set firearm safety standards that, as far back as Bogart, have been commonplace on every set from Saving Private Ryan to Sid & Marty Krofft. (Big-budget set, low-budget set, doesn't matter: Following the rules is cheap. It's the mistakes that are expensive.)
We know that such firearm safety standards are to be established and instructed and monitored by the production's firearm safety expert, and approved, backed-up, and reinforced by the producers who hired him. Don't know who the "expert" was -- or even if they bothered to have one -- but the producers include...guess who? Yep, our buddy, Alec Baldwin. (This face I'm making? It's not my confident face.)
We're told that Baldwin was told it was a "cold" gun (not a prop) and yet, somehow, he not only failed to question that ("Why'm I being handed a functioning firearm, when a nonfunctional prop would serve?"), but he also thought it was a good idea to point it at the videographer! And then squeeze the trigger!
And, we know it wasn't even the first firearm mishap on that set, THAT WEEK. Yet corrective measures weren't taken.
Such a pattern of negligence is almost unexplainable, apart from intoxication. Was that it? Were they all stoned out of their minds at the time?
Sigh. I think the term I've heard for such cases is "Depraved Indifference"; but I'll let the lawyers chime in about that.
And THAT, my friends, says it all! Bravo, sir! 👍
This comment right here knocks it out of the park.
I agree with you completely. Depraved Indifference in possibly a first degree murder at it's worst.
Every responsible actor does thorough research on everything in the script to be shot.
A director will research so there's nothing unrealistic filmed.
So there does need to be overhauling in the usage of weapons on sets.
Actors need the proper way to use a gun. It should be mandatory for any filmed media and signed off by professional firearms instructors every time they handle one in filmed media.
I am NOT a gun owner. I don't want that responsibility that I have decided to kill another living being, animal or human.
I fully support the second amendment to our constitution. I back laws pertaining to the use of weapons and don't think they should be illegal.
I also don't force my decision on others. I am one person equal to others, from the poorest of the poor, to the President of our country. If you want a gun I agree that it's up to you for that choice. And you should take responsibility for the consequences, accidental or otherwise.
Outlaw guns and outlaws and convicts and others will still figure a way for them to obtain them. There's really no way to make criminals give up shooting others. We only need to legalize more freedom to weapons. Then the ordinary citizens can have them and possibly drop the number of murders because they will be able to defend themselves.
Thank you John Schneider. You are correct and this is educated gun safety you are teaching.. and logic.
I trust Johns professional opinion. He is absolutely right this was criminal negligence.
Obviously it's negligence but being shot at close range? Why have a gun in the 1st place?
@@jimr4354 Movie sets have guns. There is absolutely no reason for real bullets to be anywhere near a movie set because of how guns are used on movie sets. That should be a given. They need to find out who brought real ammo to a movie set and how it got into the hands of an actor.
@@patriot7703 Can't disagree with that. But why was Baldwin pointing and firing any gun at a director at close range?
@@jimr4354 Rehearsing perhaps? I don't know how close it was. Have you heard? You are right that even blanks are dangerous if it is close.
@@jimr4354 actor 🎬 kills a person that wasn't even another actor in the scene. Yeah, not suspect at all.
Loving how John tells it like it is… He is absolutely right…
PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I love johns response. He’s trustworthy patriot & knows EXACTLY what he is talking about!!!
Could be a budget issue.
@@sallysham2676 That's not an excuse.
Patriot? How so? When did he serve?
They should investigate it like a homicide just like they’d do for any poor person in the same situation.
True but even though it may have been an accident, he won't go to jail bc he is a celebrity. He'll buy his way out of jail time.
Or donate money to Gun Control/charity
Who put the Live round in the Gun ? The person handling the Gun must treat it like a real gun with real live ammo.. The person before they pull the Trigger is responsible to check and make sure the gun only has blanks in it..
That said .. It's Neglegent Manslaughter or manslaughter..
He'll slide his way out of this mess like they all do. The regular blue collar people would be in jail for at least a manslaughter charge.
The woman was the wife of the Clinton lawyer... CLINTON..... she posted on 10-17-21 in Twitter that she had evidence that would lock Hillary up....3 days later ALEC BALD WIN COINCIDENTALLY SHOT AND KILLER HER...2 SHOTS.... AFTER 1ST HE KNEW THEY WERE NOT BLANKS!!!! WAKE UP!!!!
Yeah when I first heard this I literally said out loud "Why would they have live rounds on a movie set??"
There is something off about this whole event.
“Live rounds” in a “prop gun”, Baldwin was holding the gun when it “went off”, and yet he’s immediately able to talk to the husband, and the husband is somehow reciprocally communicating back to him as if he’s not the one who just killed his wife? Just too weird. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is how people in Hollywood get away with assassinating each other. Like the mob but “hey we were shooting a scene”.
My thoughts exactly
Immediate deflection of HIS responsibility in the whole thing.
Could be similar to what happened to Brandon Lee. The gun had a dummy round stuck in the barrel, then later a blank was put in. The blank then propelled the dummy round like a real bullet killing Lee. A result of not properly checking the gun before putting the blank in it.
In any even, Baldwin is responsible for knowing if the gun is safe, even if checked by the prop guy, as he is not only the actor but one of the producers on the movie.
ya, probably bullets planted in the gun by some whack job republican
This is my first time watching Newsmax, and I have to say I am very impressed. John Schneider's expert analysis of this situation was both informative and fascinating; WELL DONE ALL
Absolutely, John. We need more voices like his!!!! Common sense!
John Schneider is such a class act.
I could have listened to John Schneider for about 10 more minutes. Seems he’s very aware of what gun safety on set should look like.
Should be, correct
@Black and Red Pill Maybe he can support himself.
Only 10 more lol
Funny how they cut him off once he started making valid points against the anti gun agenda
czcams.com/video/EjpKAysj0JM/video.html
Bottom line, when someone hands you a firearm you'd better have the knowledge and skills to be able to check whether or not it's loaded, and render it safe if it is. If you're going to make a living by using firearms in a movie you damn well should have those skills regardless of your personal attitudes regarding firearms if you don't you have no business handling one!
They should require hunter safety course in school. I was taught gun safety at a young age... "every gun is loaded", "never point a gun at someone"
You nailed it. I know if I was an actor about to use a gun, I would personally check it myself before using it. Any time a gun changes hands on a movie set, the person receiving it should check it.
But, also, if someone yells “COLD GUN!” before it’s handed to the actor, maybe those who handled it before Baldwin held it weren’t on the same page.
Amen 🙏
John Schneider is such a class act, if Alex skates from his responsibility for this “accident” another crime has been committed. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that Alex was talking to the husband/children so soon after this event, wouldn’t happen with me that’s for sure.
Very well said
I've prosecuted cases, and I would never claim to know the facts of this case, babbling how this should be handled or what happened, having not been there, never mind reaching conclusions. That is ignorance. Of course you can't wrap your head around a situation of which you only know slivers of gossip and opinions of others not there, not knowing facts of case. That's one of the most damaging behaviors we see affecting society today. We know kids (
Yes John is classy. But I don't think Alec intended on harm even though I think he's a jerk. However that will have to be investigated to determine if he is at fault through negligence, had a motive to murder her, or if it is someone else's fault. I would say the movie set failed at several levels.
You cant believe a word AB says. When it all comes out in the wash we will discover AB insisted on a real gun. And, he hired an inexperienced handler to save money. The responsibility is his in so so many ways.

Well said John. How refreshing with a guy with insight in the industry actually bring up the facts of a matter. Negligence is negligence no matter how you spin it and no matter how many ghosts in a room firing a gun. Even if a ghost fired the gun like Baldwin would have us believe then who loaded the gun and checked it before aiming?
Why can’t we have more people like John in Hollywood. A man with common sense. These are a rare jewel in today’s world we live in.
We need people like John everywhere, not just in Hollywood.
They've all been cancelled.
You're right Jerry!! 👍
He’s quit Hollywood, he’s a great man!
When Cheney accidentally shot his hunting partner, Alec Baldwin tweeted that Cheney should be arrested. And furthermore why is anti- gun Hollywood glorifying guns in movies anyways?
A.D. Hanson You asked..."why is anti- gun Hollywood glorifying guns in movies anyways? " I think you already know the answer but I will put it into words: Because Hollywood and the anti-gun actors make millions of $$$$ from violent movies where everyone is blasting away with firearms. It is hypocrisy at its finest..!!

Same here, I love John and his YT channel. 👏💖🇺🇸
John Schneider did a good job sharing this information and I believe his intensions are good. Gun safety is mandatory for hunters but not actors? Something is wrong!
I took a firearms safety course when I was a kid. 2 simple rules: Treat every gun as if it's loaded, NEVER point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.
I was on a cruise ship where they had skeet shooting at the back of the ship. I was waiting in line and saw the person {only one person) load the shotguns (2 guns), hand one to the shooter, and the other to the next person in line, with no instructions other than to shoot the skeet when it is flying. The person would focus on the person shooting, ignoring the person waiting with a loaded gun. This resulted in a girl, with no idea of gun safety, holding the gun pointed at the persons head standing next to her, while she was jumping with excitement when the shooter hit a skeet. Fortunately, the gun didn't fire. When people are negligent, or allow others to be concerning gun safety, it is not an accident, it is negligence.
Schneider Freakin' Rocks!... He tells it like it is... He honestly seems to be sincere and a bit more "Down to Earth" than 99% of the "Hollywood Types"... He will tell you how it is reguardless... I will always be a fan....
Having worked on sets in roles with "guns" that I "fired" JOHN is Spot on!!!! This is absolutely Negligent and I'm sorry but never should be possible, and there MUST be consequences!
John is the man. Thank you for explaining all of this.
John Schneider...you are absolutely right, and thank you for explaining. The word accident...has no place here. You are so right. So right.
John Schneider is absolutely a great personality!
Absolutely agree... Love him!
@Black and Red Pill He has his own studios and movie company. He'll be fine.
He looks like a transwoman😯
I was always taught that there is no such thing as an unloaded gun you treat every single gun that you ever touch as if it were loaded. That means never point a gun unloaded or loaded anything that you don't intend to shoot at.
Senior drill instructor: "Whats the idea of looking in the chamber of this weapon?"
Private: "Sir, to insure the private has not given the senior drill instructor a loaded weapon sir!"
Thank you, John Scheider. You said just what I was thinking.
If Baldwin aimed the gun at her and pulled the trigger. At the very least he should be charged with Negligent homicide. But he seems to do things, and he always gets away with it. When I was little I had toy guns, my parents told me never to point a gun at anyone. I’m now an older man in my 60’s and still believe that you should not point a gun at anyone. Unless of course you intend to use it. Ignorance in handling a fire arm should never be an excuse!
if he was handed the gun and told it was clear, then maybe not
@@spacecatboy2962 he's a producer .....so he has his OWN responsibility as one of the producers as well
@@spacecatboy2962 Not an excuse. You don't take the word of any person who hands you a gun. YOU CHECK. Standard procedure.

@@freedapeeple4049 I understand the situation. A gun was involved! He didn’t check to see if it was a real gun or a prop. He aimed it and pulled the trigger. Not much to figure out unless you’re as ignorant on gun use as he seems to be.
Go John!! This man rocks.
This was the most informative and fair level headed discussion that I have seen about this tragedy !
Thank You John!! This is exactly how I felt just after this happened- had Baldwin not been so anti- second amendment, he would have known a couple things: that it was a REAL gun, not a prop; he would have asked if it was checked, checked it himself, then asked yet again: is this loaded and ready? And finally, he would have NEVER pointed the gun at anything he wasn’t willing to destroy the target.
He did not do any of these because he is ignorant. Sadly, Alec should pay for this tragedy.
John, I think you upset them just a bit with your true and valid expertise on the subject.
I don't think she liked hearing criminal negligence.
But that was the best expert interview I've ever heard.
The so called experts they usually interview, are unwilling to state the hard facts unless they don't like the person due to political views.

Thank you John for your expertise regarding this sad situation. None of us were there so it is up to expert examiners and detectives.
Spent four years as a western stuntman alongside the likes of Clevon Williams and Ron Two Eagle among others.
Every firearm was double and triple checked before using as well as fired off to the side of the actor/actors shot at in case dirt or debris from a scuffle on the boardwalk or street got lodged in the barrel.
At no time ever was real ammunition ever present.
If shooting at the camera was required, why isn't the camera dead instead of the cinematographer?
Absolutely negligent....thank you John

There are not enough truths here, it does not make sense!
Exactly. If it has real ammo, it's not a prop. It's a weapon. Period.
I like how the prostitute media keeps putting prop gun prop gun it was a prop gun, on the screen, over him, to distract from what he's saying. They need that to stick, for some reason. The 911 call says prop gun, it is highly suspicious.
The woman starts to say I don't know and changes to I can't tell you that.
You can't tell the 911 operator? But you know?

THANK YOU !!!!
I have always liked you and always will. Thank you for setting the record straight about prop guns.
John Schneider you deserve all of your accomplishments my friend. You are a very genuine individual Sir.
I wholeheartedly agree with John Schneider. There is no place for live weapons on a set. Prayers for the family of this young lady.
The live gun had to be be planted!
This raises the question why a real gun was on the set.
@TruthSeeker Are you joking?? Is that true?? Real guns? Now, how do they sell their political views to the people? I cannot even imagine why people believe these actors (fakers).
Baldwin sounds like he thinks he’s not responsible. 🙄
He's the 'victim' now.

@@mikeskidmore6754 you have no idea... Ghislaine Maxwell's trial starts in November. The dead lady knew Epstein.
the moment he picked up that weapon he became responsible. As you heard John S just say, there are protocols in place when a weapon is used in filming, and baldwin thinks he is above the rules. What can any one expect? These wealthy actors, most of them and the elites as well, look down on us as useless eaters, they are so full of themselves. No, he is responsible along with who ever put it in his hand to the person providing it in the first place. I think there were short cuts made deliberately to cut expenses on this film. pray that there was no deliberate choices that brought this all about. I dont trust any one any more, except maybe the instructor that taught me well to handle a weapon correctly. Reminds me I need a refresher course!!
These reporters sound like they think he's not responsible and they're trying to make sure it looks that way. The guy is saying that there's no way a prop gun can fire any kind of bullet, not even a blank, and they put on the screen Alec Baldwin fires prop gun, right below him. People who believe these kinds of reporters do not recognize when a person has no soul because they don't have a soul. Ironic.
Thanks Colette. It's good to know there are some sensible people out there.
😨😨Thank you, John Schneider, your explanation is BEST of this Terrible Tragedy 😠😢 Always responsible for your own Actions.
Sincerely, Patricia Sue Lindquist in Maryland
I agree with John Schneider. I consider him to be an expert on many levels, especially as a responsible gun owner. He makes so much sense in his analysis of the issue.
Hes on point on a few topics. I'm a veteran 🎗, US Army, gun owner & CCW license user. I also worked on a few film, tv, media productions. Some directors, producers are cheap, scream 🤬 try to push crews hard.
I agree 100%! 👍
I Agree.
Has anyone heard anymore about the tragedy and incident??? Nope! Things are being kept real hush, hush all of a sudden. The stinkin media are so friggin corrupt, I hate them! They pick and chose their victims to target. Mr. Baldwin was negligent and someone needs to throw the book at his smug face!
Everything John Schneider said makes perfect sense.
As an ex- firearms instructor every point you mentioned on the wake up America interview was right on the money. Each actor, producer and staff on a production set where guns are involved should have a class on gun safety and should also be familiarized(actual shooting at a gun range)with the weapon whether real and/or a prop especially the person in charge of all the weapons. By the way Mr. Schneider, my wife and I were in Nashville the 27th of October ( my wife’s birthday)and did a golf cart tour. During the tour I spotted you talking with two other people and I shouted”John Schneider, Dukes of Hazzard”! You responded in kind “hey, yes”! And waved at us. Thanks for being such a good sport. Carlos & Maria Martoral.
John Schneider summed all of this up better than anyone else could. So glad to have heard from him on this. John Schneider is one classy man.
"Is this an accident or neglect?" -- I was 4-6 years old in the early 1980s. My grandfather refused to hide, lock up, or nerf his firearms with trigger locks. What he did instead was pass his 1920s farming upbringing and some of his WWII Basic Training on to his toddler grandchildren.
Lesson 1: "NEVER point a gun at anything you don't intend to kill." Doesn't matter if it's unloaded and you checked it. Doesn't matter if your finger is off the trigger.
Lesson 2: "The gun is ALWAYS loaded until you check it yourself." He would hand me a gun, and if I failed to drop the magazine or open the cylinder or chamber as my first act then he would stop me and ask if it was loaded.
Lesson 3: "The first time the gun comes into your hands, it is loaded until you check it yourself." He would hand me a gun, and when I correctly checked to ensure that there was nothing under the hammer he would ask me to hand it back to him. He would hold it while talking or telling a joke, then offer it back to me, and when I took it from him the correct procedure was to immediately check the cylinder or magazine and open the chamber. Why? Because it had just come into my hands.
Lesson 4: "Check the barrel." Once it was well-drilled to ensure the weapon was unloaded, it became most important to learn to check the barrel while checking the chamber. "NEVER FROM THE FRONT!" Always from the back-end of the barrel, through the opening from the cylinder or chamber.
After that it was disassembly for cleaning and maintenance, and reassembly, always with close observation and always making sure to drill 1-4.
When I entered a Hunter Safety Course put on by the local Sheriff a decade later, I was the only student including a few adults who scored 100% at every session. I had to correct instructors at several sessions. Oddly enough, it was 2 and 3 that the Sheriff's deputies (who instructed the classes) got wrong most, with 4 closely following.
So let's be clear about Prop Guns: They are guns. A prop gun is no different than any other gun. It's intended to shoot blanks, but it's still a high-pressure chamber with an exhaust tube attached and it takes munitions. If Alec Baldwin's parents and grandparents had been worth half a spit, then Alec Baldwin would have checked the magazine or cylinder, would have checked the chamber and the barrel, and would not have killed one and wounded another. The same can be said of the prop crew, who will certainly get the blame for this, but the fact is that the one and only person responsible for ensuring that the gun was safe and in working order (and for ensuring that it was not pointed at anything which he did not intend to kill) was the halfwit who didn't check it before he pointed it at someone and pulled the trigger. So I call this "A Baldwin Problem."
It is not rocket science. Just always check if it is loaded or not. The other rules are there for pros. People who come to contact with guns regulary are way more likely to make a fatal mistake and forget something since they are comfortable with guns.
Nobody should point a weapon at something or someone you don’t intend to shoot and kill.
I think "Grandpa's Gun Safety" rules should be included with every gun sale! Thank you for sharing
Criminal negligence. Alec needs to be held accountable, and everyone else that handled the gun.
If you ARE NOT in a situation of being shot or possibly killed by some method, do not shoot your weapon pointing .
I was a fan of Alec’s acting years ago but his nauseating politics in the past several years made it impossible to watch anything he ‘s involved in. Regardless, this is unfortunate for anyone and as John said, absolute negligence on multiple levels.
He is a two faced hypocrite. He should be held responsable for aiming it like he did. His mouth was too busy going.off all the time preaching at anyone not left to not learn anything but guns other than.tell.us we can't have them.
Amen
You haters are so ungodly. It was an accident. You evil animals are mad because he wasrt a disgusting lying trump ass kisser. I hope you assholes are going to hell for your wickedness. Alec Baldwin is loved.
AND, WHAT OF THE LINK BETWEEN HILLARY CLINTON AND HALYNA!
There’s nothing accidental about pointing a weapon at another person and pulling the trigger. It’s tragic, sure. But any firearm, empty, disabled, or loaded, is dangerous and people killed by empty weapons are still dead. The weapon did not point itself or pull its own trigger.
I grew up watching the dukes, and I’ve been a big fan of John ever since!!! Big hello from the Pacific Northwest up in the upper left corner of Washington state!!!
Love John...He is a good man. Im glad he is explaining this.Yes something isnt right about this. Am praying for that lady's family..
Exactly. Thank you for thoroughly describing that, John! God be with Halyna's family.
Amen. As one who served in the Marine Corps infantry, I can tell you that there is NO such thing as an accidental shooting. This was negligence at the least. People get jail time for getting into car accidents, not under the influence of anything. So there's legal precedence for holding people legally accountable for accidents.
Love- Love- Love-, John Schneider!!! Always a win win to interview him on all things such as this. He's a common sense,straight shooter and ALWAYS for the good of the many. We all miss seeing him on screen.
Wish he had a talk show!!!
Don’t point a weapon at something or someone you aren’t willing to destroy.
I agree with John. This is total negligence on Baldwin. No way this should have ever happened. He needs to be held accountable.
Why was he pointing the gun in the first place at THREE people?
@@Mark_Knight Likely a camera closeup of Baldwin "aiming" at his "target" which was not in same frame. My understanding is that the victim, and yes she was a victim of gross negligence, was the woman filming the scene.
He's the actor that was given the gun and told it wasn't loaded. I don't care for Baldwin and his politics, but this would be the Armourers responsibility. That's why she was there on set. That is her job. Is to make sure the guns are set up the way they're supposed to be.
@@Mark_Knight They were rehearsing, so probably setting up the shot. People don't realize, every time you watch a movie or a show of a gun getting shot from a point of view of the muzzle or close to it, it's being fired towards crew members off set. And since she was the DP on set, she would be just off camera lining up the shot that they wanted.
"I have a strict gun control policy. If there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it". --Clint Eastwood
I grew up watching the Duke Boys. Now that I have seen this, I love him even more!
I so want to thank you guys AND John Schneider for this piece! Since the moment I heard of that incident, my first thought was "why was there a real firearm & ammo on a movie set"? That is not necessary unless you intend to shoot something or someone.
Mr Schneider, you perfectly explained it to folks who lack the proper training when handling a prop or real firearm. Since Brandon Lee death rules were place for a movie crew and apparently Alec Baldwin and the crew did not follow procedures that are in place to avoid these ass hole discharge. This Poor lady did not have to lose her life. 😢
If a bullet exists the muzzle it is NOT a “prop” but the word ‘prop’ is propaganda.
This is a killer movie someone had to die. Hollywood is pure evil.
Guns don’t kill people Alec Baldwin kills people.
She died for her art.
Many great artists do
@@thedevilsadvocate5210 She shouldn't have had to.
I had the utmost PRIVILEGE of working in a musical (the Music Man) with Mr. Schneider. He is one of the MOST genuine, nicest and talented actors you could ever meet! Well spoken and extremely smart.
Absolutely, Johns exactly hit the nail on the head… I ran into him once in a casino in BC on a Blackjack table as he was waiting to play poker…. Was a big Dukes of Hazzard fan as a child…. As much as I wanted to say something, I said nothing, and just let him enjoy his time without being bothered.
Back when i was in junior high they offered a hunter's safety course teaching people how to handle firearms safely and the thing is if you have not the proper training you should never ever handle a firearm....
We love John Schneider, absolutely love the dukes of Hazzard and love his music, we watch alot of his videos, he has very good points and is honest, a true American ❣️
@Black and Red Pill it’s ok, he has his own productions. He doesn’t rely on Hollywood.
Had Baldwin taken NRA training, or ANY basic firearm safety course, this would NOT have happened. Among the first things they teach you besides keeping your finger off the trigger is to CHECK AND CLEAR a firearm when it is handed to you, REGARDLESS of what the person handing it to him said. It's one of the first lessons of gun safety. But being an ANTI-gun person, Baldwin couldn't trouble himself to get trained. I bet he regrets that now.
The fault lands on Baldwin, as he should have checked the gun.
Yeah, but if you are anti gun like Baldwin is then the very act of catering to NRA training goes against the grain. That's why I think being "anti" anything leaves you blind to some truths about what you are "anti" about...
@@TOURMANBOB Whether he had training, or not, he should have known better. He isn't a child.
@@jessiem276 I can't disagree with you there. Common sense should prevail but unfortunately sometimes doesn't
always right to know both sides of a story ..as it is an exercise in decernment and commonsense!
Hmm is this his twin ? ..as I believed him to be executed already ..puts a whole new slant ...on a 'Double Dose ' !!!
Exactly. It's safety 101. And don't point at anything you don't want to truly shoot. The angle of a shot could have been taken using other "movie magic".
Thank you John.
100% everyone's fault on that set. Especially and including Baldwin.
Alec baldwin should be held responsible for his actions. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
If Alec Baldwin indeed said, "Why did you hand me a "hot" gun?", then he knew it was a real firearm, capable of being loaded, and hence should have never pointed it at anyone, ever... that's common sense, and in the movie industry if you for some reason had to point a real firearm at the crew, for some unknown reason, the first thing that I would do is find another way, the second thing is to make sure it wasn't loaded.
If he said "Did" that was past tense, so he did not know until after the tragic event.
After the tragedy........not before.
This is a way to get rid of guns. Do you know AUSTRALIA. Has no guns thry were taken away and people gave them up, NOW ITS A POLICE STATE, ITS HORRIBLE.
@@susanford2388 he still pointed it and pulled the trigger at someone not in the movie
@@susanford2388 Don't make excuses for him! He is a 68 years old man & knew better... even I know better.
I heard a report that said Baldwin was saying, "Is this what you want"? And I suppose he was pointing the firearm at these victims when it fired!!! Yes, there needs to be a thorough Investigation!!!
"It" did not fire. Baldwin fired it.
An investigation will NEVER happen. It will be quickly covered up
@@SKS8080 or blamed on the armorer.
@@RamblinRoadies Alec will blame this on trump.
AB WILL TRY TO SAY IT WAS ACCIDENT.
IT REALLY NEEDS A WELL THROUGH INVESTIGATION
& PEOPLE SHOULD SPEAK UP OF WHAT THEY KNOW.
OTHERWISE, AB WILL DO THIS AGAIN TO SOMEONE ELSE.
Awesome Awesome interview John 👍👍 thanks . I agree with you 100%
Thank you Newsmax for this insightful interview.
Very well explained, John Schneider. This should never have happened.
Damn straight John, with today’s CGI technology, there is no reason for a real gun on a set except for police or security
How many movies have been made showing this same thing where the actor uses a weapon in the scene and someone is killed and the ending is ALWAYS THAT IT WAS PLANNED BY SOMEONE TO KILL THAT PERSON!
Thanks for your take on the situation I learned a lot. Mr Schiender I miss you in Have and Have nots so much Take care and God bless
John you killed it and nailed it. You're knowledge is phenomenal. I'm not sure if you should be a top movie executive or homicide investigator
What a class act John Schneider is for explaining the whole prop gun to real gun protocol in the film industry. Also explaining that real gun or not real gun it’s never the guns fault, it’s the operator of the weapon. And I give John the up most respect for not being a Hollywood sellout like most famous actors or actresses this day in age. Staying clear of Hollywood politics is probably the reason John built his own studio on his property and is producing his own movies there and doing very well without being tied to Hollywood.
You go John!
The News continuously reports this being a "Prop" gun. It may have well been an accident but I agree with John that it was negligence to be a loaded gun being brought on the set. Someone was very careless. It wasn't the gun's fault.
They keep reporting it as a "prop gun" because they want to convince people of that and steer them away from the truth. News media always does this kind of stuff.
It's no accident
oh it's definitely negligence and the producers and prop people are responsible for this tragedy
@Brooklyn There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding with the use of the phrase "prop gun". A "prop" refers to any object, literally anything, that an actor touches for the purposes of a scene. An actor could use a prop towel if they are drying off after taking a shower in a scene, or a prop tire iron if they are changing a tire in a scene, or a prop dollar bill if they are purchasing food from a vending machine in a scene, OR a prop knife (one with a REAL sharp edge) if they are needing to cut something while cooking in a scene. When it comes to prop guns there are a number of versions that productions will utilize depending on the situation. If say the actor only needs to hold a gun for a scene and not fire it then it's possible a rubber version would be used. In this instance the scene required the actor to fire a weapon. Some times shows will use air soft versions of a gun that mechanically function the same way as the real version, train actors how to react as if they are firing the real gun and then add in a muzzle flash using Visual Effects. This is not always the case as many people have discovered with this incident and often times productions elect to use REAL GUNS. All of these versions are considered "prop guns" because they are used specifically by the actors in a scene. The significance of reporting this as a "prop gun" is to confirm that the weapon was in fact intended for use in a scene for the movie. In other words: this weapon was NOT something that was brought in from the outside by a crew member, security guard, random non production related person etc. The term prop does not mean that something is fake.
@@pkobet1
A real gun is a real gun using the word prop with it minimizes the seriousness of a real gun being used for any purpose. . A prop towel is not generally a dangerous thing that can result in severe injury or death. The people in these movies and television productions are often very much against guns and have absolutely interest in knowing how to handle them safely. But they feel that they can us a gun safely with no training or real knowledge about guns. People are the real danger.
Thank you John Schneider for that incredible truth about guns on a film set. Thank you to Wake Up America for having him.
So happy to hear John say this.
I've seen this on Newsmax, good information, good interview!
Really appreciate seeing an experienced person, John Schneider, comment on this tragedy. His history in the industry, as well as being an advocate of the Second Amendment, support the objective relevance of his opinion. I completely agree with his observation that this event was not an accident, but complete negligence, and should be investigated accordingly...and strongly suggests the question as to WHY a loaded weapon was in the hands of Alec Baldwin?
Clearly Baldwin cannot be trusted in any way at all, maybe he should be held under a conservatorship until he stops killing innocent people????
Why was he even pointing at the camera person?
Why was live ammunition on the set in the first place and no need to put any kind of bullet in a prop gun since you don't see it in the air anyway.
It was negligence for sure and beside it was most likely a deadly sabotage. I think more than one person should go to jail for this and most likely Alec is one of people that should be held responsible.
On the View this morning Whoopi Goldberg said the same thing about checking etc.
Like Jeff Cooper said (regarding firearm mishaps), “we don’t have accidents, we have negligence.”
Thanks for putting the video up.
Great information! Good job John!
